YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn the last couple of weeks, there’s been no shortage of news: Trump’s “big, beautiful” budget bill kicking millions off their health insurance has passed the House; he’s spreading lies about a genocide against white South African farmers and offering them citizenship while yanking legal status from Afghan refugees; he’s threatening new tariffs; and he was offered a $400 million luxury jet from Qatar.
But a lot of political news has been dominated by the guy who used to be president: Joe Biden. Or to be more precise: That book about his health (you know the one). But is that story as significant in people’s lives like grocery and TV prices skyrocketing because of tariffs or people who can’t afford to get cancer treatments?
Lincoln Square’s Susan J. Demas talks to longtime journalist Jennifer Schulze — who writes the Indistinct Chatter Substack — about why the mainstream media is hyper-focused on Biden. Jennifer also gives her take on Trump’s technique of flooding the zone with shit and why mainstream outlets haven’t figured out how to cover him over the last nine years.
Jennifer also busts the myth of the liberal media, noting how America is dominated by right-wing outlets like Fox News and beyond. And what about AI and social media? They’ve radically altered the media and how we get our news … and often, it’s not for the better.
So is there any hope? Yes! There are local TV stations reporting on what Trump’s policies mean for you. And there’s been a huge rise in independent media that tries to fill in the gaps that the “both sides” media has left.
